Activity 1: Screen Time Diary – Students keep a diary
of their screen time for a week, noting what activities
they are engaging in online. They reflect on their screen
time habits and set goals for balancing online and offline
activities.

Activity 2: Designing a “Digital Detox” Plan –
Students design a “digital detox” plan that includes
structured times away from screens, alternative activities
to engage in and strategies for disconnecting. They share
their plans and discuss the benefits of taking regular
breaks from digital devices.

Why Digital Citizenship Matters

Digital citizenship is not just about avoiding harm online;
it’s about empowering students to use technology
creatively, collaboratively, and effectively. By instilling
the principles of digital citizenship in students, educators
can help them navigate the complexities of the digital
world, making them more informed, respectful and
engaged digital citizens.
